This past season while the A’s were consistently winning and climbing in the standings – on an equal par with the Orioles – neither MLB network or ESPN bothered televising their games or hardly mentioning them until the last week when they were overtaking the Rangers. Meanwhile, during the purposeful ignoring the Green and Gold, The Orioles and Showalter were practically being sanctified by every commentator on either network. It was an absolutely shameless bias!
